Pentium and Celeron in laptops and desktops in 2021

What we used to call Atom will continue to be known as Pentium and Celeron in affordable laptops and small form desktop computers coming in 2021.

SuperFin 10nm, high-end Xe graphics, new Core, Tiger lake, and more.

Technology Day online can work, and it did work well for Intel. Intel engineering team lead by Chief Architect Raja Koduri and Intel fellows have shown us an incredible amount of news wrapped around six pillars of technology innovation.

Powered by Intel's Atom Automotive SoC

At the Google I/O conference, Volvo has teamed up with Intel and Google to show its latest infotainment system based on Intel's Atom automotive SoC and running on the latest Android P OS.

New "Atom“ notebooks / tablets

Cisco already admitted it

It is starting to look like Intel’s Atom C2000 chip fiasco has spread to another networking manufacturer.

Serious latency problems

One of the world’s most popular chipsets for gigabit broadband modems, Intel's Puma 6 chipset, suffers from at latency jitter so bad it ruins online gaming and other real-time connections.
